Mutating Bebop & Rocksteady! Originals VS Reprints 

It’s actually really awesome that there’s differences. It gives nostalgia without corrupting the collectors market.

It would have been funny if the sonic toast drawing was wearing shredder gloves on his feet like boots

The tail is all black. I have the same reissue of Bebop and I was fortunate with the tail but suffered the same exact right hand issues that you had with your figure.

I certainly can't vouch for those QC-issues, (I mean... REALLY, Playmates?) but here's a little collectors-hack for the tail; try dipping a paintbrush in some acetone (nail-polish-remover) and painting the inside of the tail-joint around the tail, carefully working it back-and-forth with a prying-tool and repeating the process until, hopefully, the tail works its way out. IDK if it'll succeed, but it's worth a try. =)

hey toast, have you seen the trailer for X-Men 97?

i hate that they get paint wrong but they should atleast get the figures to work right

I used a nail file to get bebops tail free but it took a min
